penguin Posted August 13, 2022 Share Posted August 13, 2022 Sure well see Rondon on for them 2nd half and to go a lot more direct. Be an interesting battle with Mings as he can get a little caught up in getting into 1-1 duels with physical strikers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnnyp Posted August 13, 2022 Share Posted August 13, 2022 Dougie for McGinn. Or ( but he won’t ) Buendia for Coutinho Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Judged to a completely different standard than anyone else. He’s been really good today. Yeah, every player makes mistakes during a game, most often several. Ming's has done well, as has the team as a whole IMO. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaVilla Posted August 13, 2022 Share Posted August 13, 2022 BBC says 2 shots at goal in 45 mins. I only remember 1, the Ings goal. What was the other? We seem to lack creativity, 1 or 2 shots at goal, at home, in 45 mins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jas10 Posted August 13, 2022 Share Posted August 13, 2022 Everytime I see Coutinho I just wonder how much more effective and involved Buendia would be (and always is when he comes in). Ideally I’d like to have both in the team but Emi offers so much more.. Credit to Ings, loved the determination to get that goal. Don’t think we’ve looked great but winning breeds confidence… I still can’t believe McGinn is our captain… Bouba is just a class above any player on that pitch Get him some help. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MWARLEY2 Posted August 13, 2022 Share Posted August 13, 2022 Not the greatest of oppoments . Imagine us playing Coutinho Buendia and Bailey up.front. But controlled the game. No pointless crossing. Kamara is a 205 gti , not a citroen saxo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s just so limiting when we don’t attack with any kind of urgency. This tactic of letting the opposing team get everyone back before we move forward needs to stop… Didn't say he did anything wrong, just invisible (i.e., no impact) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Genie Posted August 13, 2022 Share Posted August 13, 2022 One thing that is always obvious from these match threads is the view of we’re winning then we’re great and playing well. And if we’re not winning then we’re playing badly. The score line and the performance being directly connected, which is often not the case.

I haven't seen a replay of it but it seems like he had time to walk backwards before jumping which would've ensured him reaching the ball. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PaulC Posted August 13, 2022 Share Posted August 13, 2022 Decent first half and good to be ahead. I wonder whether the heat is effecting the performance levels. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VillaAlex Posted August 13, 2022 Share Posted August 13, 2022 Just now, Davkaus said: I don't think we're playing well at all, but fortunately, we look better than last week, and we're up against another relegation candidate. Clearly the better team today, but against ~15 other teams in the league, we'd be **** playing like this, we're wide open at times. We are far too predictable, we play the ball to the left as much as we did when Grealish was here. Difference is we don't have him but Digne who 9/10 crosses into a busy penalty area with no Villa player in sight. Teams know this now and just wait for us to make mistakes in build up and counter us. As you said better opposition and we'd be punished. Pleasing to be ahead but I have many concerns. On a positive note, Watkins and Ings are working better together, Kamara is class and Mings has come in and performed well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’s been really good today. ive not gone back through it but surely he's not being picked out for the missed header? he stepped off his man to defend vs a completely free man 6 yards out, if the other defenders did their job he wouldn't be there, mings covered for someone else's mistake but didnt win the ball somehow then makes it mings mistake thats the mings microscope Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aston_Villan4 Posted August 13, 2022 Share Posted August 13, 2022 2 minutes ago, MotoMkali said: We are so slow in possession. First time we play the ball quickly we get in behind the defence and play a ball across the face of goal that Coutinho narrowly misses. Also why is mcginn standing on the last defender instead of being a passing option. Yep. We gotta stop giving them the time to setup their defense.
